This package now forces to use the branch v5.6.4.2 (the one that works better for me), which is the default one in the remote repository although they still mention branch v5.3.4 as the stable one. If you have any issues, please leave a comment, and also tried to change the branch in the source array. For example, change it to:

source=('rtl88xxau::git+https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git#branch=v5.3.4'

Read the README.me to learn how to set your interface in monitor mode (and other things).

Important: Use ip and iw instead of ifconfig and iwconfig

Please consider unpinning first commentary. This driver now supports rtl8814au and it builds and works. Mentioned package does NOT work on latest kernel (5.18.9-arch1-1).

iyanmv commented on 2022-06-06 13:11 (UTC)

larvan: one patched got merged 12 hours ago, and the other is irrelevant because support for 5.18 was added in a different commit. You just needed to remove the prepare function from the PKGBUILD.

I've removed the patches and now should work. Give it another try.

This package no longer builds.

I successfully installed it 4 days ago (June 2) but now, after a couple of daily updates, I get the following:

I tried to build under both Linux 5.18.1.arch1-1 and 5.15.44-1-lts - same result.

It appears that after the release of kernel 5.18 this module does not build; in the interim, downgrading to 5.17.9 allows me to continue to use my WiFi adapter.

Good evening, iyanmv.
Thank you for your answer.
I don't have any particular problem, it's just that I would like to buy the Netgear Nighthawk A7000 WIFI dongle (rtl8812au) because it's more powerful than my current AC1200 and before buying it, I want to be sure that it will work and so I'm looking for the right driver.
Sorry if I'm only answering now but I hadn't enabled notifications.

iyanmv commented on 2022-05-14 14:08 (UTC)

ignace72: it works for me. Do you have any particular issue?

ignace72 commented on 2022-05-13 18:26 (UTC)

Hello.
I would like to know if for a rtl8812au the driver works with kernel 5.17.
Thank you.

DKMS complains about REMAKE_INITRD option

Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD

Can you remove it from dkms.conf?
